South Africa only supply the MSWS/RWR only.
the bulk of the avionic are from France e.g. HUD, MFD, INS etc.
India supplied the mission computer.
Russia supplied the radar.
this is a hell of integration ...

Really, Malaysia should consider a High/Low Mix both sharing a common engine...........say Typhoon/Gripen or Flanker/J-10?:gun

what you said make some sense. but we have to consider the respective air forces doctrine and budget.
i guessed in 5 years time, Malaysia might have a hi-lo mix in the form of Flanker and Super Hornet for hi and Fulcrum for lo. notice all are twin engine jets.

Well, I understand why Malaysia likes a mix of fighters for Political reasons. Yet, she has a small force and in times of crisis. She could find only a few available..............

but at least India can produce some parts and components themselves. hell, they can even design and built jets. this makes them less dependent on the suppliers.

i beg to differ. locally manufactured spare parts is cheaper than imported spare parts. i know this for a fact. also local produced spare parts has shorter lead time.Paxter said:
yeah but then you have to take into the account of hiring ppl for the job, importing the technical know how, constructing a factory, getting the materials needed, the logistics chain etc... and more importantly the items built have to be reliable... in a span of a year how many engines, or other major items is needed for 18 planes? if it was tyres or some small item they have airrod to do the repairs...
i know building it is cheeper as per item, but in an overall cost it isnt economical and in a country that spends only 10% of their national gdp on defence that isnt worth the tax payers money...

wrong. wrong. wrong.
you don't need to set-up a brand new factory to produce aircraft spare parts locally.
what the hell all the precision manufacturing houses in Malaysia for? all they need is just the technical data. i know for fact that some aircraft spare parts are being produced locally in Malaysia.
hell, we even produced nuclear centrifuge without even realizing it.
Malaysia don't spend 10% of GDP in defence. get facts your facts straight. :gun

we might as well delete this thread. I had a long argument with aussie digger about the merits of either aircraft months ago.
Yes I have a problem as a moderator. What do you plan to do about it!!!?
